On Jan 17, Nurul Ruhana Ishak, a 27-year-old school teacher from Kuala Lumpur, drove through the Woodlands Checkpoint without proper immigration clearance. She was arrested three days later when she trespassed the compound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). She is currently in remand at the Institute of Mental Health and her case will be heard on Feb 26.
